  2. Sodium hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hydroxide

    The only hydrates with stable melting points are NaOH·H 2 O (65.10 °C) and NaOH·3.5H 2 O (15.38 °C). The other hydrates, except the metastable ones NaOH·3H 2 O and NaOH·4H 2 O (β) can be crystallized from solutions of the proper composition, as listed above. However, solutions of NaOH can be easily supercooled by many degrees, which ...

  3. Recirculating aquaculture system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recirculating_aquaculture...

    Keeping the pH in a suitable range (5.0-9.0 for freshwater systems) is crucial to maintain the health of both the fish and biofilter. pH is typically controlled by the addition of alkalinity in the form of lime (CaCO 3) or sodium hydroxide (NaOH). A low pH will lead to high levels of dissolved carbon dioxide (CO 2), which can prove toxic to fish.

  4. Hygroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygroscopy

    Super hygroscopic polymer films composed of biomass and hygroscopic salts are able to condense moisture from atmospheric humidity. [16] By implementing rapid sorption-desorption kinetics and operating 14–24 cycles per day, this technique produced an equivalent water yield of 5.8–13.3 L kg −1 of sustainable raw materials, demonstrating the ...

  5. Alkali hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali_hydroxide

    Similarly, potassium hydroxide is available as a solution used for cleaning terraces and other areas made out of wood. Both NaOH and KOH are also used in the production of soap and detergents (saponification). Due to their hygroscopic properties, alkali hydroxides are used as desiccants.

  6. T. H. Chubb Fishing Rod Factory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T._H._Chubb_Fishing_Rod...

    The Chubb Fish[ing] Rod Factory was established in 1869, on the site of a former linseed oil factory on the Ompompanoosuc River, in the village of Post Mills. [2]Founded by Captain Thomas H. Chubb, formerly of Galveston, Texas, the story of the fishing rod factory provides insight into the Gilded Age in Vermont, but it is an atypical story as well.

    A collection of fishing rods A fly fishing rod Line guides on modern fishing rods Fishing with a fishing rod. A fishing rod or fishing pole is a long, thin rod used by anglers to catch fish by manipulating a line ending in a hook (formerly known as an angle, hence the term "angling").

  8. Casting (fishing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casting_(fishing)

    Drop-casting, on the other hand, is all about fast sinking, and the angler must bring the rod high before releasing the finger grip on the line and drop the cast into water with full force. The double-handed overhead cast , used more for distance, uses a kendo -like overhead swing to throw the line as far as possible.

  9. Fenwick (fishing) - Wikipedia

    Fenwick is a brand name of Pure Fishing.. Fenwick is named after Lake Fenwick in Kent, Washington where 5 Seattle businessmen founded the company in 1952. Fenwick was an early pioneer in the use of fiberglass blanks [1] to create fishing rods that were corrosive resistant to salt water and that quickly replaced metal and traditional wood [2] and bamboo fishing rods for their durability and ...
